Massimo Galioto,
40, was detained overnight and was being held for questioning
later in the day by a judge on suspicion of aggravated homicide,
a police spokesman said, declining to give further details.
Solomon's body was found tangled in vegetation in the Tiber
River on Monday, three days after he went missing.
Solomon, from Wisconsin, had been due to start a study program
at John Cabot University, whose campus is in the central
Trastevere district.
The neighborhood is near the river and popular with young people
because of its many bars. Solomon was last seen leaving a pub
early on Friday morning.
Solomon's brother Jake told NBC News that, after he went
missing, their parents had called his credit card company and
learned that thousands of dollars had been charged to his card
in Milan, hundreds of miles (km) away in northern Italy.
